SUBNANOSECOND X-RAY-DIFFRACTION FROM LASER-SHOCKED CRYSTALS

Multikilobar shocks were launched into single crystals of (111) silicon with a 1-ns pulse (full width at half maximum) of 1.06-m light at an irradiance of 1091010 W cm-2 using the JANUS research laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Transient strains on the order of several percent were t...
